I have a WordPress website using the Suffusion theme that is integrated 
with a genealogy system called TNG (www.hcnhistory.org.uk). TNG uses Simile 
timeline, and I have adapted its use of Simile a little. This has worked 
fine for over a year, and I am a happy user. Thanks to everyone who has 
made such interesting code available.

The timeline still works fine outside of WordPress - see an example at 
http://www.hcnhistory.org.uk/tng/timeline2.php?primaryID=I25813&tree=hcn&chartwidth=
  
<http://www.hcnhistory.org.uk/tng/timeline2.php?primaryID=I25813&tree=hcn&chartwidth=>

But within WordPress/Suffusion there is now no data displayed on the 
timeline - see 
http://www.hcnhistory.org.uk/blank-for-people/timeline2.php?primaryID=I25813&tree=hcn&chartwidth=;
 
and the error message in Chrome in the console is 
simile-ajax-bundle.js:1541 TypeError: Cannot read property 
'documentElement' of null "XmlHttp: Error handling onReadyStateChange"
simile-ajax-bundle.js:1543 Uncaught XmlHttp: Error handling 
onReadyStateChange

Similar symptoms appear in Edge and Firefox. I cannot remember exactly when 
I last saw it working, but everything was fine until a recent update 
(possibly of WordPress or of Suffusion to 4.4.8). 

In diagnosing the problem I have deactivated all WordPress plugins, and my 
mods (including my adaptation to TNG's use of Simile) - but the symptoms 
still persist.

I am actually using a Suffusion child theme, and I have found that the 
problem disappears if I switch to Suffusion itself.

So I examined everything about my child theme (which I have not changed 
recently) and the problem is in my child's functions.php. But the problem 
does not seem to be with my code, because if I remove everything but <?php 
?> (or indeed leave it totally blank) the problem still exists. If I delete 
this blank functions.php in the child then the problem goes away.

This is now beyond my technical abilities.

I have asked on the Suffusion support site (at 
http://aquoid.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=32296) if anyone can help, but 
so far have had no replies.

I would be very grateful if anyone with knowledge of the Simile timeline 
software can give me any pointers as to where the problem might be, and 
what I might do to fix it?

Thanks again for great software, and any help you can give.

Peter
